Maybe they should have spent more than 6 months developing it. What were they doing from May 8th or so (when robotarena.com was changed for RA3's announcement) until the last 6 months of limbo?

They were drawing all that cool concept art man

I wish I could upvote, because damn that deserves one.

But, yeah, here's my theory:-

They cobbled together this "game" to cash-in on the boom in popularity of robotic combat. I mean, robocraft is well liked, RW and BB are coming back- it makes sense, doesn't it? Sadly, they don't realise how steam works, and if they release a sh**e game, they cant just take the money and run. I am really, really ashamed at this. Why the hell would you lie so badly just to excite the main fanbase, and then crush them by releasing this tumor of a game? (that might be a bit harsh, but whatevs :P)
